[ants]

They have the same moustache because they are blood brothers... furthermore its a trend that time in their family ... except the women. hehehe.. I don't think we will have any family badminton players as successful as them in the near future. The nearest is Hashim Brothers. But they are only 2.

[LazyBuddy]

Surely, this family is a "legendary" family in this sports.

Can't think too many cases ever in sports, maybe Sutter (not sure about the spell) brothers in Hockey?

[ants]

Maybe someone from the forum want all their kids to be famous badminton players in the future. :)

[Rohly]

Wow, all of the brothers were amazing badminton players. their parents must of brought them up well!!!!!

[ants]

Yup , you imagine that they have a badminton court in their backyard when they are little kids. Its like the states...Bballers like MJ had basketball backboard and rim in his backyard when he was a kid. Nothing else but badminton for Sideks.

[Rohly]

That would be good...constant badminton

More pics of the sideks in their younger days

More pics of the sideks in their younger days

The pic brings back memories. I remember watching the live broadcast of Malaysia winning the Thomas Cup :)

[ants]

Those were the days.. i think there is no badminton family that matches the Sideks so far. The only that i can this of is the Hashims.

[dakguru]

Yes indeed, interesting pics of the Sidek brothers of younger days.

I recall seeing and chatting with Rashid during the Commonwealth Games '94 held in Victoria, BC. I still have the pictures I took of him and others in the locker room. That year, he captured the Mens Singles Gold medal very easily and no one was even close as the games were restricted to only athletes belonging to the British Commonwealth countires. Ah yes, the memories... :)

So cool to go through all their achievements. What amazing players they were. A promising batch of juniors with great pedigree to boot.

[bardo]

I think there r 5 hashim's brothers also badminton player


1. roslin
2. don't remember
3. hafiz
4. hafifi
5. hafizi

* other then roslin and hafiz. the other just like other state player. but not yet for hafifi and hafizi -they r still young

[jug8man]

#2 is Muhammad Hashim i think


8man

[afham07]

#2 is Muhammad Hashim i think


8man

yes .. correct.. :) .

[weeyet]

I wonder who is Rahman Sidek??

And THE HASHIMS!!!! Become the second badminton power family in the world after the Sideks!!!

Any other famous family members in sports arena??
Venus and Serena Williams, Michael and Ralf Schumacher, can't remember anyone else already...

[weeyet]

dont' forget that Razif Sidek was once the malaysian badminton chief coach

[Qidong]

I wonder who is Rahman Sidek??

And THE HASHIMS!!!! Become the second badminton power family in the world after the Sideks!!!

There are quite a lot like the 2 McEnroe brothers (tennis), 3 Stoudemire brothers (basketball), 3 Maleeva sisters (tennis) , ... But have 5 all in the world class level, that's very odd. We will have to wait to see the Hashims brothers can match the Sideks' success.

[Qidong]

Yup , you imagine that they have a badminton court in their backyard when they are little kids. Its like the states...Bballers like MJ had basketball backboard and rim in his backyard when he was a kid. Nothing else but badminton for Sideks.

I heard that there is no wind in most places in Malaysia in the afternoon. So no indoor courts are needed. Just set up the net in the afternoon and play. Is that true?

It really depends where the court is setuped. Sometimes got wind , sometimes no wind. But dont expect to get quality games in these open area courts. More for recreational purposes.

Rahman Sidek is currently helping out in the Nusa Mahsuri Stable.

[weeyet]

Rahman Sidek is currently helping out in the Nusa Mahsuri Stable.

was he a malaysian international before??

[wilfredlgf]

was he a malaysian international before??

Yes, he played mixed doubles I think.
That was years ago.

[jug8man]

He was in the Winning Malaysian Thomas Cup Team '92.
He used to play doubles with Ong Ewe Chye (Ong Ewe Hock's Brother)

[s1nn3r]

I think there r 5 hashim's brothers also badminton player


1. roslin
2. don't remember
3. hafiz
4. hafifi
5. hafizi

* other then roslin and hafiz. the other just like other state player. but not yet for hafifi and hafizi -they r still young

he is a teacher in sandakan, sabah :D

[DinkAlot]

I guess mustaches were all the rage back then. Just like goatees are now. :p

[badMania]

I can only recognize Misbun, Rashid, Razif and Jailani. I didnt even know there was another Sidek brother.

Still remembered when I was still a young kid, watching the several exciting encounters between Team Malaysia and Team Indonesia in the Thomas Cup. Team Indonesia lost most of the the times in those days....Rashid was the hero in one of the encounter.

[s1nn3r]

If not mistaken, there is one more non playing badminton brothers :D
& Sharizan Sidek is the youngest ( i think from dato' sidek 3rd wife)

[Darma Sucipto]

hey...im currently training under rahman sidek now :D :D ...sometimes misbun also will train me if he comes...hahaha :cool:

[Darma Sucipto]

If not mistaken, there is one more non playing badminton brothers :D
& Sharizan Sidek is the youngest ( i think from dato' sidek 3rd wife)

yes..sharizan sidek is the youngest brother in the sidek brothers. he's currently 18 years old. we know each other..:D ...he is now currently Selangor number 1 player..

[azabaz_ipoh]

i had a crush on razif and rashid when i was young. hehehehehe :D what happened to sharizan sidek now?

[OneToughBirdie]

Agree with Ants, outdoor badminton is for recreational. I played outdoor badminton growing up in MAS, not that I am any bloody good, and indoor courts are few and costs $ to book, cannot afford during my childhood in MAS. Outdoor courts are hard concrete, not the hardwood with support these players are playing now. Playing on concrete floor, you can forget about doing LD jump smash...hahaha!!:D

[erin_hakkinen]

Those were the days.. i think there is no badminton family that matches the Sideks so far. The only that i can this of is the Hashims.

Now we have The Latifs :eek: :p :D

[azabaz_ipoh]

yeah, but they are yet to be top players. but looking good so far though. still i think the sideks will forever be a legend in malaysia. :D

[taufikk]

yes..sharizan sidek is the youngest brother in the sidek brothers. he's currently 18 years old. we know each other..:D ...he is now currently Selangor number 1 player..

really..please tell us more about him..being selangor no1 player is very good. Does he look like his brothers? Any pic of him? Is it true his mother is Dato Sidek's third wife?..I didn't know he had more than one wife.:eek:

[kikks9]

i had the chance of meeting the sidek brothers from the time i spent in the KLBA stadium in Cheras. My most poignant memory was meeting the infamous Misbun Sidek, I shook his hand and I remembered how small mine was.

Those were the days. Many happy memories and meeting so many BAM players at that time and after that I decided to follow football hahaha

[kokcheng]

i had a crush on razif and rashid when i was young. hehehehehe :D what happened to sharizan sidek now?All the while I assume you are a guy.You sure know a lot abt. badminton

[azabaz_ipoh]

people always assume i am a guy. must be my manly nick. it is in fact an abbreviation of sorts of my full name. :D there's so many things to learn about badminton. when i found this site, i realized i knew very little. i just simply love the game. plus i have been playing since i was young and that passion is still there. learning so much more now. :D :D :D

[Nievk8701]

i had a crush on razif and rashid when i was young. hehehehehe :D what happened to sharizan sidek now?

hahaha... can tel that u mus b above 30yrs old.

[azabaz_ipoh]

hahaha... can tel that u mus b above 30yrs old.

ha ha ha ha ha, you are wrong. :D though very very very close. not yet 30 i am. :p;)

[X Ball]

Other brothers --- Tan Aik Huang (all-England 1966) And Tan Aik Mong (who played as reserve for country also).

[V3i HoN6]

But the achievement from Roslin & Hafiz is far more behind either Rashid or Misbun in their contemporary times, plus Roslin is almost at the end of his career now. The coming WC08 at KL could be his final chance to make himself an important part of Malaysian History. His younger brother could have 2 or more years though.

Anyway, is the youngest Sidek brother, Sharizan a potential player for the nation? Imagine he will train under Misbun, Rashid since young.

I think he is 18++ adi not much of a prospect!

[abedeng]

First time I noticed the Sidek brothers was in the World Championships in Jakarta 1980. While all the MAS senior players bit the dust early, in the Men's Doubles, Razif Sidek and Ong Beng Teong reached the q-finals and Misbun/Jalani the semis, losing to DEN pair (Flemming Delfs and partner, forgot his name) and eventual champions Ade Candra/Christian Hadinata respectively.

By end of the year, Misbun concentrated on MS only, and I saw him in a friendly match against Prakash Padukone (1980 All-England winner). Misbun won 8-15, 15-2, 18-14 (after being 0-9 down in 3rd game). The game was uneven, partly due to the ferocious draft inside Stadium Negara.

Yes, they were world class and were competitive, but had they had better coaching (BAM only employed Chinese coaches in late-80s), they could have done much better.

[OneToughBirdie]

Maybe Dato Sidek has a 4th one too, as malay custom allows 4 wives..except the agong (king) could only have one I think, pity the poor guy. Anyway Dato Sidek is a busy fella, real real busy, no kidding...maybe he got his Datuk title for being so busy producing great badders for the country...!!!:D

[Mat Jie]

i wonder why nobody ever mention about zamaliah sidek..........their sister who is also involved in badminton those years back

[blackrose]

I think he is 18++ adi not much of a prospect!
Shahrizan now trained under his brother, Rahman Sidek in Kelana Jaya coz Misbun was busy in Bukit Jalil

[Pemuda]

I would hold back the word legend and not use it so sparringly. In my books, Razif and Jalani are decent but certainly not legends material.

The real legends are Tan Yee Khan and Ng Boon Bee

[vching]

how bout the manaiky brothers?

Marleve Manaiky - Indonesia No.1 Singles player
Rexy Manaiky - Indonesia No.1 Doubles player
Richard Manaiky - CUrrently coaching INA MS i think...

Interesting man, Ng Boon Bee. Represented Malaysia in soccer and badminton.

I've never seen a man so short jump so high ....... :D I'd say he's the pioneer of the jumping smash from baseline. Best rotation when he was at the back and Tan was in front, the opponents were confused until they saw Ng jump ......

[azabaz_ipoh]

i wish i could see this Ng Boon Bee play. more so knowing he played both badminton and football. :D how we need the glory of olden days athletes...... nice to meet you at the WC abedeng. :)

[thiery]

is there any sidek girl in the family? i never had the chance to see any of the sideks played but i once saw a women single who carried the name sidek. but cant remember her front name.

[abedeng]

Zamaliah Sidek, she represented the women's team but didn't really make an impact.

[thiery]

The Sideks are so popular until there is a comic made specially for them titled 'anak-anak sidek'. perhaps that's the first comic based on badminton.
